Peter arrived last night at 10:58 PM. He was 7 pounds 7 ounces and is 20 1/2 inches long! He is so perfect! He has the most beautiful full head of dark brown hairQ I will post a birth story when I get home and get settled.

The first 20 or so minutes after he was born was scary for me. He had merconium in his fluid so they took him from me right away and monitored him. No one would tell me what was going on! it was the longest 20 minutes of my life!

Fortunately he is healthy and didn't spend a single second in NICU. He WAS latching on wonderfully. but since then he won't wake up to eat. They dr isn't concerned and said he may not start eating until tonight or even tomorrow morning. He is filled with fluid... He has pooped twice and peed 4 times since then, so I hoe he starts feeling empty soon and decided he wants to eat.
